Take a Ride on the KUKA Coaster!

KUKA is lit­er­al­ly flip­ping the robot­ic indus­try upside down and turn­ing it round and round! If you haven’t already expe­ri­enced it, the KUKA Coast­er needs to be the seat you sit in next. The new gen­er­a­tion of robot-based amuse­ment rides proves to the world that the KUKA brains behind the robots aren’t all about work, they also like to play!

For­get the old roller coast­er where the track shows you your next move; the KUKA coast­er, takes the pas­sen­gers on a huge thrill ride filled unknown- every sec­ond offers a new direc­tion, a sur­prise sharp left turn, and then, flip! Of course the ride wouldn’t be as thrilling with­out amaz­ing sound and light effects that com­plete the inte­gra­tion of all of your sens­es. Not ready for an extreme ride? No wor­ries! The KUKA coast­er offers thrills at all lev­els, so all rid­ers are wel­come! Take a look and ride along vir­tu­al­ly with this video! 

The KUKA Coast­er has been seen in indoor and out­door envi­ron­ments, such as parks, fam­i­ly enter­tain­ment cen­ters, shop­ping malls, and sci­ence cen­ters. With mul­ti­ple Kuka coast­ers in the same are­na, you could even expe­ri­ence themes such as robot bal­let, medieval joust­ing tour­na­ment, or oth­er cre­ative ideas!

It is the first robot to be licensed to car­ry pas­sen­gers and all of it’s struc­tur­al com­po­nents and gear are 100% cer­ti­fied. Since robots have been around for a long time, sci­en­tists have been able to devel­op and set-up loads of safe­ty mea­sures, such as mechan­i­cal stops and con­tin­u­ous elec­tron­ic mon­i­tor­ing. So you can expect noth­ing but safe­ty to hop along for the ride next to your your fun and adven­tur­ous spirit! 

This appears to be just the begin­ning of the great robot­ic coast­er adven­ture! Devel­op­ers are quick­ly inte­grat­ing fas­ci­nat­ing con­cepts to fur­ther enhance the KUKA coast­er expe­ri­ence. Some of these prod­ucts are even in the pro­to­type and will be seen in the not too dis­tant future.

For instance, devel­op­ers are seek­ing to add the fourth dimen­sion to robo­coast­er users, bring­ing the expe­ri­ence to an even more intense expe­ri­ence by stim­u­lat­ing the skin by blow­ing wind to sim­u­late high speed trav­el. A mobile trail­er con­cept is in progress that will have a 3 hour set up time to cre­ate the abil­i­ty to take your coast­er any­where and every­where! Want to feel what it is like to rock­et launch into space? A ​“tow­er full of pow­er” is in the works, keep­ing pas­sen­gers on their toes with unlim­it­ed 6‑axis motions while blast­ing into ​“space.” Final­ly, a robo­coast­er dome that is sta­tion­ary, yet mobile, and most impor­tant­ly weath­er inde­pen­dent could help add an ele­ment of mys­tique by enabling laser shows, fog, and even light­ning to the ride. 

We nev­er fail to be impressed with KUKA’s abil­i­ty to inte­grate and pro­duce an amaz­ing prod­uct that always suc­ceeds at sat­is­fy­ing the needs (and adven­tures) of the next gen­er­a­tion. The KUKA coast­er tru­ly is the per­fect enter­tain­ment option to put…anywhere…and to entertain…anyone! We can’t wait to see what addi­tions come next-Gid­dy up!
